Not so. A product on a shelf, on display etc is merely an invitation to treat. The sale takes place if / when I accept your payment. I can refuse your payment if I choose not to do business with you.

Hmmm.

The legislation says minimum pricing applies to alcohol products for sale in Ireland. It would seem logical to assume that you therefore cannot give same alcohol products away for free (e.g. lower than the minimum allowed price), no?

Do you think Oliver Hughes could be persuaded to cast his eye over it with our concerns in mind?

We're trying to interpret something that will possibly form the basis for new legislation. I also think some of the interpretations are not right.. "For sale" doesn't mean something you can buy somewhere else some other time. My belief is "For sale" (in this context) means here and now only. But these are the type of things that are already in law and we need to find out which is correct.
